Big Brother Season 9 Starts with Several New Twists

Expect the unexpected is the phrase always associated with Big Brother and this season is no exception. This season started out with 7 girls being let into the house, just as they were getting comfortable they sent in 9 guys, the biggest number of people on a big brother season yet. Then the twists begin.

The first twist that we find out is that unbeknown to her Sharon's ex-boyfriend is also going to be a house guest. We find out that they were together for a long time, but broke up because he cheated on her. The second twist that we find out is that Ryan and Jen are dating and they are both going into the house to try and win together. As the house guests get to know each other Julie appears on the screen with another twist. Julie explains that they have paired each of the house guests with another house guest as their "soul mate" She explains that you will have to do everything with your soul mate from the competitions to HOH and even being put up for eviction. Julie then pairs everybody up.

The partners are:

Alex & Amanda
Ryan & Allison
James & Chelsia
Jacob & Sharon
Matt & Natalie
Joshua & Neil
Adam & Shelia
Parker & Jen

So that means that the ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend are paired together, and the real life couple Jen and Ryan have different partners. There is also a gay couple. Most couples were happy with the choices, while Sharon was anything but happy. Sharon was really upset that not only was her ex in the house but that she had to be paired with him. Jacob on the other hand didn't really seem to mind, he even stated that he knew Sharon was his sole mate. The Other very unhappy couple was Adam and Shelia, they got off to a lousy start by Adam calling her "Ma". Shelia was very upset saying that he was not her type at all.

The first competition begins right away. Julie explains that the winners of this competition will have to evict another team within hours. They go outside and the competition is all set up, each team has to choose one person to put on a harness and that team member has to hold the other team member in the air without letting them fall on the bed below. Adam And Shelia are the first to drop out followed shortly by Joshua and Neil. When half of the couple have dropped out Julie lets the house guests know about the second part of the competition. If they can manage to grab a pillow from below them, and then are the winning team they will win $10,000. The final two couple come down to Matt and Natalie, and Parker and Jen. Jen and Parker have a pillow so they tell Matt and Natalie they will be safe if they drop out. Matt and Natalie decide to drop out, so the winners are Parker and Jen.

What will happen next? Who will Parker and Jen choose to evict? We will have to watch tomorrow to find out, be sure to come back tomorrow for my next article on everything that happened in the ext episode of Big brother 9 'til death do you part.
